IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS
1. Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Stamped on a metal plate attached to the right hand wing valance.
Also, as a deterrent to car thieves and to help the police, the VIN is
etched into the windscreen and rear window.
The exterior body colour and interior trim codes are also stamped
on the VIN plate and should be quoted if paint or trim items are
required.
2. Body number
Stamped on a plate attached to the bonnet locking platform.
3. Engine number
Stamped into a horizontal surface of the cylinder block below the
spark plugs.
Care Points .........
If buying the car second-hand,
check that the vehicle
identification number on the
VIN plate matches that shown
in the Service Portfolio book
and on the vehicle registration
documents.
A stencil for the VIN may be
supplied with the car. Use this
stencil to re-etch the VIN if ever
a replacement windscreen is
fitted.
